I hate to say this but bitcoins security budget issue might not be as bad it seems since the world entirely seems to have its energy output shrink significantly going forward.
But even if world energy output stays the same or increases, and BTC security budget decreases, the marketcap will just adjust. I know its annoying to have this uncertainty, but the current halving schedule seems to be one of bitcoins biggest strengths, what sets it apart from other PoW coins. But i could be wrong.

@k00b are you aware that SN's onionsite is broken? Also planning to stack more sats today, with the low prices.

The 3 hop to stacker.news instead of the 6 hop onion url works so far

Same, not loading for me either. The error code it shows is 0xF0.

I know Tor is still experiencing DoS but it might be something else.
We restart our service whenever we deploy new code - the network might not like that. I'll dig through the logs

Appears to be back up after the latest deployment. I have better logging now so I'll monitor it.

If you live in Europe buying Bitcoin is a great way to escape the coming capital controls and bail ins but sadly most people wont realise that before its too late?

Small recommendation of the day: If you are interested in negotiation, the book "Never Split The Difference" by Chris Voss will open up the world of how to negotiate.

Just submitted the back button changes. Had trouble sleeping last night when it occurred to me that I could do it with minimal code changes using prior magic that I wrote.

They have not updated the packaging, probably trying hard to save costs. 😅

Here in the UK, our new PM is pushing for a £130b rescue plan that will cap energy bills throughout the coming winter. There's apparently no plan to pay this back, as she's also a strong advocate of lowering taxes.

She says there isn't but there is. It'll be 90% income taxes once out of the woods, look what happened during comparable periods in history following conflict.

Messing around with React, again, while working on UselessShit.co. Today I'm adding links & descriptions to Bitcoin Resources. Later on I will evaluate the meta (& og) tags, since there's basically no SEO done yet.
Also I got my hands on a descent laser printer, purchased some nice business card paper along with a guillotine paper trimmer, so I'll be making a bunch of quality cards to hand out 🙂
Have a great Bitcoin Tuesday!

What does the card do exactly?
reply

These business-sized cards are intended to spread bitcoin awareness in several ways. Some of them show prices in USD & BTC for things like eggs, a couple years ago and now, for people to clearly see that if bitcoin was base money, everything would be getting cheaper. Other cards are loaded with sats, so they can be used as gifts - eg. whenever a newbie gets one, they can download a lightning wallet, load it with free sats and play around with bitcoin payments. There's also cards intended to shame close friends for buying useless stuff. Also with this card generator one can create different cards without too much hustle.

good on you for taking the initiative, this would be cool business idea if you could white label them

This is pretty much a work in progress, so this could be a future feature - I could make a dedicated page for each interested party and they could create cards with their own logo/url
reply

🎯Exactly
I know tons of meetups that would love their own logo and branding for exactly this.

Interesting 🙂 I guess I'll start working on a feature to allow for bulk card creation first and then implement an API 🙂 If you'd like to collaborate in one way or another, you can hit me up on twitter
